Self raising flour is simply plain flour with a raising agent added (eg bicarbonate of soda, cream of tartar, baking powder or some combination of those), so if a recipe calls for plain flour it will also have a raising agent listed in the ingredients. A different recipe might specify self raising flour instead, but the end result will be (approximately) the same.
